I was just going to write an initial comment of the day, trying to find an honest mod and ask what is the deal with points - they seem to swing wildly. Because of these manipulations I lost all interest in the points per se - they are clearly worthless and subject to mod or other manipulator's temper tantrums. They are also used to "silence" ironically by some who consider themselves big crusaders for free speech here - Crensch and KevDude waged an unreasonable campaign on me because I repeated what mods told us all - call out shills on bigotry, hate speech, violence promotion etc in a post that brought in hundreds of new subscribers who, as idealists thought pretty much the same way. Next couple of days the forum views seemed to be on some sort of lock down and now this. Meanwhile the race baiting bots were discovered. So there's some history of the past couple of days and I'd like to hear others bout what they've witnessed.

I had around 400 comment points about 4 days ago, then overnight while defending myself against "unpresidented" sub deletions with Crensch/KevDud (the liars cited rule 3 when there were three links as just one example) it was at -15, then plummeted to -60s, that day then swung in a few minutes up to +11 then back down to the -60s, now overnight I somehow gained points back to +2.

WTF?, but also ::yaown:: clearly this isn't a stable long term forum.

Seems like a kind of programmed bot down voting. Obviously the forum is ridiculously manipulated and is not reliable. I join others suggesting a migration asap. Upvote if you like but don't hold your points too dearly, they are just a method of control over you. (a fairly lame one, but nonetheless the intent is there). No doubt my points are going to plummet again after this post.
